Just like us? Elephants comfort each other when they are stressed out

Elephants have long had a reputation for good memories. Now, (39)   [A, B, C, D] a new study from Emory University and Think Elephants International, the giant animals are also pretty good when it (40)   [A, B, C, D]to empathy.

The researchers observed 26 elephants held in an elephant camp in northern Thailand for over a year. They did not try (41)   [A, B, C, D]to stress out the elephants but rather waited for something stressful to naturally occur (a surprising sound, for example) and then (42)   [A, B, C, D]what happened next. In short, the elephants were more likely to sympathise during stressful times than during other periods.

Researchers found that elephants are able to sense when other elephants are stressed and will often (43)   [A, B, C, D]them with a vocal response or physical contact such as a trunk touch.

Lead researcher Joshua Plotnik of Emory University (44)   [A, B, C, D]Discovery News that the physical gestures "may be sending a signal of'I'm here to help you, not hurt you.'"

As for the vocal calls, Plotnik told Discovery, "I've never heard that vocalization when elephants are (45)   [A, B, C, D]." He continued, "It may be a signal like, 'Sshhhh, it's OK,' the sort of sounds a human adult might (46)   [A, B, C, D]to console a baby."

Co-author Frans de Waal said, "With their strong social (47)   [A, B, C, D], it's not surprising that elephants show concern for others. This study demonstrates that elephants get distressed when they see others in distress, reaching out to calm them (48)   [A, B, C, D], the same way as chimpanzees or humans embrace someone who is upset."
